We introduce a new quantum mechanics method for spectral eigenvalue expansion using unitary matrix theory. This approach offers exact, convergent, and integral-free ghost orbit expansions for step potentials in tunneling. Ghost orbit spectroscopy may enable experimental verification.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Quantum chaos
  • Spectroscopy

Background:

  • Direct periodic-orbit expansions offer a novel approach to understanding quantum systems.
  • The tunneling regime in quantum mechanics presents unique challenges for theoretical analysis.
  • Previous theories have faced limitations in convergence and unitarity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an exact, convergent, and integral-free method for spectral eigenvalue expansion.
  • To apply this method to a step potential in the tunneling regime.
  • To propose an experimental technique for ghost orbit spectroscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a unitary matrix theory framework.
  • Developing direct periodic-orbit expansions for spectral eigenvalues.
